Xviith Century Manor House with Chapel, to Renovate

Description

This stunning manor house, built in the XVIIth century, provides a colourful history and is now ready to be restored to its former glory. The property consists of the manor house itself, various stone outbuildings including barns and a chapel, a garden and enclosed courtyard, with a total plot of around 1 acre. There is a possibility to purchase a further 2.5 acres of surrounding pasture.
It is thought that there was a manor on this site in the XIIIth Century, however it appears that the current manor was built in the XVIIth Century. A property from a different era, built with huge granite stones, it is easy to imagine its noble background. The chamberlain of King Charles VII was a former owner of the property and legend has it that Joan of Arc even visited the property! The property is situated in the rural Mayenne countryside, in a small farming hamlet and is surrounded by pasture. The property provides a courtyard to the front, flanked by stone barns, the piggery and chapel, which dates back to 1747. The manor and outbuildings are all of traditional stone construction with slate roofs, with the exception of the chapel (built in 1747), former latrines and small gatehouse (a stone shed) that have tin roofs. There is a formal garden to the side and pastureland to the rear (some of which is available to purchase, if required). The manor itself provides a large kitchen with utility room and a large sitting room on the ground floor. The spiral staircase in the tower leads down to the two cellars and then up a few steps to a bedroom and cloak room. The first floor provides a kitchen, shower room and two enormous bedrooms. The staircase continues to the attic above. The manor boasts many original features such as the original granite fireplace, the wood mouldings and XIIIth century chimney breast in one of the bedrooms. The manor requires complete restoration and connection to the mains water (which is close by at the neighbouring property), and a new septic tank system. The purchaser will also need to create a new driveway to access the manor house.
An exciting opportunity to purchase an historic manor house steeped in history and to restore it to its former glory!
